Katerina Gregos Athens
Katerina Gregos is a curator, lecturer, and educator originally from Athens, based in Brussels since 2006. Her curatorial practice has consistently explored the relationship between art, society, and politics, focusing on questions of democracy, human rights, economy, ecology, crisis, and changing global production circuits. She has curated numerous large-scale international exhibitions and nine international biennials including Manifesta, the Göteborg Biennial, the Thessaloniki Biennial, and E V+A: Ireland’s biennial. Most recently she was chief curator of the 1st Riga International Biennial of Contemporary Art (RIBOCA1): Everything Was Forever. Until It Was No More.
Gregos has also curated three National Pavilions at the Venice Biennale, Denmark (2011), Belgium (2015), Croatia (2019). Apart from her activities as an independent curator, she is also curator of the visual arts program of the non-profit, Munich-based Schwarz Foundation. She regularly publishes on art, artists, society, and culture in books, catalogs, and journals and is a visiting lecturer at HISK: the Higher Institute of Arts in Ghent and the Jan Van Eyck Academy Maastricht. Her most recent exhibition Modern Love (or Love in the Age of Cold Intimacies) was presented earlier this year at Museum für Neue Kunst in Freiburg (DE) and is traveling to Tallinn Art Hall (EE) and IMPAKT Media Arts Organisation, in Utrecht (NL) later this year.
